I recently came across GhostLab in search for tools in cross-browser testing. I’m not sure how it happens because I googled before and haven’t saw this app. You may call it accident but I consider it a “divine intervention”. 🙂

Running it for the first time was a breeze. Just drag the folder of your HTML files and one click of a button, your files are served on a local server. You can also add URL in case you need to test a live site. This feature is very important to me. This is one of the feature that would make me buy this app.

Most of the time, I work on a WordPress site. So you can’t just drag the folder into Ghostlab. My solution is served the site on MAMP, then copy the link to Ghostlab. TADA! Problem solved.

Another problem is viewing the page on IE. I’m on OSX and we all know that IE is not (and may never be) ported to OSX. My solution, virtualbox. And to my surprise, it work seamlessly with Ghostlab.
